The TaylorMade RBZ Stage 2 hybrid surprised me. I had mostly resigned myself to this being a down year for new hybrid offerings, and had even started to wonder if something about my cobbled-together jalopy of a golf swing didn’t mesh well with hybrids at all.
The TaylorMade RocketBallz Stage 2 hybrid has a good heft to it, to promote good feel of the clubhead throughout your swing, but isn’t so heavy so as to feel unwieldly or slow your swing down. I like a club with a little more weight to it because I feel like it smooths out my tempo and prevents me from being too herky-jerky on my transition into the downswing. If you have a naturally languid swing, maybe you’d drift more towards something a little lighter.
Where the Callaway X Hot Hybrid stand out, though, is the consistent trajectory. With the RBZ’s competitors, I found either inconsistent trajectories – ballooning high one minute, terrifying worms the next – or ballflights that were too lazy and soft, refusing to hold their line against the wind and occasionally sapping me of distance consistency. The RBZs, conversely, offer a penetrating flight that goes high enough to land a ball softly, but still bores through crosswinds and maintains a steady accuracy. The results are pure delight.
The look is in line with the rest of the RBZ family, with a sort of angular, futuristic feel that may take some getting used to if you’re a traditionalist. I wouldn’t say it’s a beautiful club, but performance is much more important to me than aesthetics, and I can get used to the look of anything that gets the ball in the hole quicker.
This hybrid is the mid-handicapper’s dream, responding exactly how you want it to, with dialed-in shot shaping when you want it without completely abandoning forgiveness on mis-hits. If you’re buying a hybrid in 2014, this is the club you want. Hot items:
